So we have been playing with the kitchen pretty much constantly since it was unwrapped (which is awesome, obviously) – Jess is thrilled with the kitchen, and is also really looking forward to working with me to finish it off (rounding over edges, sanding, oiling).

Few things I need to do to finish the unit off as well – new hinges for the door, drawer dividers for the cutlery drawer

While watching her play with it (and doing a fair amount myself alongside her), I’ve been making up a list in my head of additional items that is needed, that will be added over time.

Rolling pin
Fridge/freezer
Microwave
Toaster
Paper Towel Holder

Can’t think of any more at this stage, but even this list is unlikely to be completed before the big house and shed move. We’ve begun packing. It is a huge job, and I haven’t even begun considering the shed.
